Work
JME Lyrics

Hard work pays off
If you put in effort towards achieving your goals, it will eventually pay off

If you want something, work towards it
To accomplish what you desire, you must work diligently towards it

Work hard, the harder you work the faster you'll get what you wanna get
Putting in more effort increases the speed of achieving your objectives

The only time you've got TT is if you drink Typhoo and Tetley
The only instance the abbreviation 'TT' applies is when consuming tea brands Typhoo and Tetley

My flow's so sick it will uppercut Kimbo Slice, Jackie Chan and Jet Li
My rap style is so impressive that it would even knock out formidable individuals like Kimbo Slice, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li

You people are gonna respect me, bet I'll make you respect me
I am determined to gain your respect, and I will succeed in doing so

This flow's deadly, it will resurrect Bruce Lee to be the famous Deadly
My rap style is so powerful it could revive Bruce Lee's infamous character, 'Deadly,' and make him a legendary figure once again

The only day that I don't put in work is the 30th of February
I work tirelessly every day except on a fictitious day like February 30th that doesn't exist

Do not fuck with my money, it can be ten bags or 10p
No one should mess with my finances, regardless of the amount - it could be significant or minuscule

I used to live off my overdraft but now my account is never empty
I previously relied on my overdraft for survival, but now my bank account is always filled

All my supporters rep me and half of them ain't even met me
My fans endorse and praise me, and some have never even seen me in person

I wear snowboarding boots to festivals, you can't tell me about style
I exhibit originality in my fashion choices, so no one can judge or critique my style

You're drinking your lager out on the field, but your name ain't Karl
Someone who is not Karl is consuming beer outside in a field

All the shit you do I've done but I ain't touched alcohol in a while
I have experienced and accomplished all that you have, though I have not consumed alcohol in some time

I used to blaze, I turned 21 then I dropped the munk out just like Jamal (what)
I used to smoke marijuana, and at age 21, I stopped just like Jamal did

I moved on and I dropped smokey out, just like Jamal
I transitioned beyond smoking and relinquished marijuana usage, just like Jamal

I'm the eighth wonder of the world so come see me not the Taj Mahal
I am an impressive spectacle that warrants attention - even more so than the highly revered Taj Mahal

You want that Beemer you want that Merc, money, cars, clothes
If you desire a BMW or a Mercedes, or any other materialistic item, such as money, cars, or clothes

Those are the perks but to get there you gotta put in that work (it's not easy)
Those items are benefits, but obtaining them requires hard work and dedication - it's no easy feat

To those who don't know me, hello
Hello to those who are unfamiliar with me

You think you control me? N O
No, you do not have any control over me

I'm one of the best artists in the world and I leave other MCs below
I am among the top performers globally, and I surpass other emcees

If you ain't heard of me, hello
Hello to those who have yet to hear of me

Keep up, stop moving s-low
Don't lag behind; move quickly and efficiently

Boy wanna know what Boy Better Know means, for you to find out and for me to know
You may be curious what 'Boy Better Know' signifies, but it's something for you to discover in your own way, and for me to keep to myself

If you know my face salute, parlais vous français, salut
If you recognize my face, acknowledge me, and speak French, then say 'hello'

Je m'appelle JME, let me show you 'round this jungle like Baloo
My name is JME, and I'll take you on a tour of this environment similar to the character Baloo in 'The Jungle Book'

When you next see my face salute, if not here's some air for you
When next you see me, pay your respects with a salute - if not, I'll give you a chilly reception

If it kicks off then jump in first, don't care if it hurts, man put in that work (it's not easy fam)
If events get hectic, don't hesitate, jump in first, regardless of the pain because putting in effort is challenging, colleague
